1. In summing up the workers' movement and the Party's work during 1912, the Conference finds that: the new wave of revolutionary action by the masses that has begun has wholly confirmed the previous decisions of the RSDLP (and particularly the January 1912 conference) on the question of Party construction. The course of strike struggle during 1912, the social-democratic electoral campaign for the elections to the Fourth Duma, the course of the insurance campaign, etc., have shown with complete certainty that the only correct type of organizational construction in the epoch being lived through is: an illegal party, as a totality of party cells, surrounded by a network of legal and semi-legal workers' societies.

2. Adaptation of organizational forms of illegal construction to local conditions is absolutely obligatory. Diversity of forms for covering illegal cells, the greatest possible flexibility in adapting the forms of work to local and concrete conditions, is the guarantee of the viability of the illegal organization.

3. The principal immediate task in the sphere of organizational construction at the present moment is: the creation in all factories and plants of purely party illegal factory committees, consisting of the most active workers' elements. The enormous upsurge of the workers' movement creates conditions under which the reconstitution of party factory committees and the strengthening of existing ones becomes possible in the vast majority of places.

4. The Conference points out that the time has now fully ripened for the necessity of creating from scattered local groups one directing organization in each center.

As a type of city-wide organization there emerged, for example, in Petersburg, a directing city committee, created by combining the principle of election from district cells and the principle of co-optation.

Such a type of organization makes it possible to establish the closest and most direct connection between the directing organ and the grassroots cells and at the same time allows the creation of a narrow in composition, mobile, and most conspiratorial executive organ, possessing the right to act at every moment in the name of the entire organization. The Conference recommends this type for other centers of the workers' movement as well, with changes stemming from local and concrete conditions.

5. In order to establish close connections between local organizations and the Central Committee, as well as in order to direct and unite party work, the Conference considers it urgently necessary to organize regional centers in the principal districts of the workers' movement.

6. As one of the most important practical tasks in the matter of establishing constant living contact between the Central Committee and local social-democratic groups, as well as in the matter of creating flexible forms of directing local work in the major centers of the workers' movement, there emerges the system of trusted persons. Trusted persons should be recruited from workers who lead local work. Only advanced workers themselves, by their own efforts, can strengthen and consolidate the Party's central apparatus on the local level, as well as throughout all of Russia.

7. The Conference expresses the wish that the Central Committee organize conferences with local party workers engaged in different branches of social-democratic work as frequently as possible.

8. The Conference recalls repeated Party decisions concerning the fact that a workers' party cannot exist otherwise than on the basis of proper membership dues, workers' collections. Without such collections, particularly under present conditions, the existence of even the most modest central (local and all-Russian) Party institution is absolutely impossible.
